With two matches remaining, Sporting Lisbon still have a realistic chance of finishing in the top eight and securing qualification for the next round if they manage a positive result here. With the gap being only two points, we expect an attack-minded approach from the home side.

PSG are in a slightly better position, sitting three points ahead of Sporting, but they are still not fully secure among the top eight. For that reason, they will also be pushing for a victory rather than settling for a cautious approach.

Defensively, PSG have not been particularly solid in the Champions League this season, conceding 8 goals in 6 matches played.

Both teams come into this fixture with important absences. For Sporting Lisbon, key first-team players are missing: Hjulmand, Quenda, Diomande, Ioannidis, Gonçalves, and Nuno Santos, many of them with a defensive role. PSG will be without Hakimi, Neves, Lee Kang-in, and Lucas Hernandez.
